We conducted a study to investigate milk and dairy products consumption among elementary school students to identify ways to increase their intake of milk and dairy products. We asked 518 students in Seoul to fill out questionnaire. Only 55.6% of the subjects consumed milk daily, and 43.7% of them drank at least 1 cup per day. The frequency and quantity of milk consumption were higher in male students than female students. The majority of the subjects consumed whole milk, and most students(59.5%) preferred flavored milk to whole milk. The reasons given for drinking milk included 'wanting to be tall'(66.1%) and 'for good health'(47.1%), while the main reason given for not drinking milk was stomach pain (68.4%). Records of having an unpleasant experience and upset stomach after drinking milk occurred at a higher rate for those who did not drink milk(84.2%) than for those who did(53.3%). Of the students questioned, 36.9% consumed dairy products other than milk 3~4 times per week, and liquid-type yoghurt(43.8%) and ice cream(35.4%) were the preferred dairy products among students. The reasons given for consuming dairy products were 'good taste'(56.6%), 'good to eat'(46.6%), 'wanting to be tall'(32.4%), and 'for good health' (25.4%). Among those students who did not consumed dairy products, the major reason given was 'family does not eat at home'(33.3%). After consuming the dairy products, 71.4% of participants thought that dairy products did not result in physical improvement. Most students had experienced purchasing milk and dairy products by themselves. When they bought milk or dairy products, the reasons given for making a particular selection were 'shelf-life'(61.6%) for milk, and 'favorite dairy products'(54.1%) for dairy products. According to participants, the factors that need to be considered for milk and dairy product consumption among elementary school students are 'higher nutrition' (60.8%), 'better sanitation'(57.3%), and 'better quality and taste'(55.2%).

A new combined method including the enzymatic hydrolysis of $\beta$-cyclodextrin ($\beta$-CD) and solvent extraction fo cholesterol from the hydrolyzed mixture was developed to recover cholesterol from a $\beta$-CD-cholesterol complex prepared from dairy products, such as cream, milk, and cheese. Cyclomaltodextrinase (cyclomatodextrin dextrin hydrolase, EC 3.2.1.54, DCase_ prepared form alkalophilic Bacillus sp. KJ 133 hydrolyzed the $\beta$-DC of the $\beta$-CD-cholesterol complex, and then, free cholesterol was efficiently extracted from the hydrolyzed mixture by a nonpolar solvent such as ethyl acetate. To increase the stability of free CDase, immobilized CDase was developed using sodium alginate as a carrier. The immobilized CDase showed a high recovery yield of cholesterol in a time-dependent manner compared to the free CDase. A gas chromatography analysis showed that more than 70% of cholesterol was recovered from the $\beta$-DC-cholesterol complex of cream by the immobilized CDase, whereas only 3% and 29% of cholesterol were recovered when the solvent extraction and free CDase treatment were used, respectively. The cholesterol recovered can be used as a raw material for steroid synthesis. Furthermore, this method can be an efficient way to recover cholesterol or other organic compounds that are bound in a $\beta$ -DC-cholesterol or -organic compound complex.

Demand for alternatives to petroleum is increasing the production of biofuels from food crops such as corn, soybeans, sorghum and sugarcane, etc. At least for the next 5 years, ethanol demand will be increased greatly in the United States and in the world. Presently, most ethanol produced in the United States is corn (Zea mays) ethanol. As a result, especially in the Americas and Southeast Asia, agricultural land is diverted to biofuel production. Even though biofuel industry has many advantage including national security, economical, energetical and sustainable impacts, it is driving grain prices up and creating considerable concern about the potential negative impacts on a wide range of food products that depend on gain : chicken, pork, beef, and dairy products such as milk, cheese, yoghurt, cream and ice cream. Feedstock crops are crops such as switchgrass(Panicum virgatum, L.), corn stover and grasses that can be used in industrial processes such as fermentation into alcohol fuels. Feedstock is no compete with food. Furthermore it is friendly environmental bioenergy crops. In Korea, with increasing demand for fossil fuels the exploration of alternative sources of liquid fuel is inevitable. I suggest Korea need to research and to develop actively on feedstock for biofuel production through this review.

This study investigates the intake and consumption behavior for milk and dairy products among middle school students in Gyeonggi Province. 'The result of the study is as follows. Only 37.4% of the subjects drink milk everyday, and 56.7% of them drink one cup of milk a day. 69.2% of them usually drink plain milk whereas most of them prefer flavored milk rather than plain milk. Reasons to drink milk are 'want to be tall' and 'good to drink' while the reasons not to drink milk are 'its bad taste' and 'prefer other beverages.' 36.7% take dairy products 3~4 times per week. Male students prefer ice-cream among dairy products while female students prefer liquid-type yoghurt. Most of the students consume dairy products for 'good taste,' 'good to eat,' 'want to be tall' in order. Those who don't consume dairy products say the major reason to dislike dairy products is 'their families do not drink dairy products at home'. As for the health benefit of dairy products, 79.9% of the subjects think that the products are of no effect. When they buy milk and dairy products, the most important standard of selection is 'shelf-life' for milk and 'favorite dairy products' for dairy products. Most of the students think that 'better taste and qualify' and 'better sanitation' will increase their consumption of milk and dairy products.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of cream soup added with Pleurotus eryngii powder. Pleurotus eryngii was dried in a hot air dryer at $40^{\circ}C$ for 8 hours and at $60^{\circ}C$ for 8 hours. The dried Pleurotus eryngii was pulverized using a pin mill, and the powder was sieved through a 60~100 mesh. Sensory evaluations of cream soup added with different-sized particles of Pleurotus eryngii powder were performed. Cream soup added with Pleurotus eryngii powder of particles below $150{\mu}m$ showed good appearance, taste, and mouth-feel. Quality characterization of cream soup added with 5~20% Pleurotus eryngii powder showed that L value decreased with increasing Pleurotus eryngii, whereas a and b values increased. Sensory evaluations revealed that cream soup with 15% Pleurotus eryngii powder had significantly better taste, mouth-feel, and overall acceptability (p<0.05) than other samples. Thus, cream soup with 15% Pleurotus eryngii powder of particle size below $150{\mu}m$ was the most desirable and could be successfully used as convenience food in the food processing industry.

This experiment was performed to identify the improvement of raw milk quality after introducing raw milk grading system(1993, June). The purpose of this experiment was to investigate chemical component and microbiological quality of raw milk in jeju. This experiment made it possible to spread high standard of quality of raw milk or milk product including yoghurt, ice cream etc., and to provide dairy industry information for the construction of Jeju international free city master plan. As a result, automatic milking system is improved a lot after introducing raw milk grading system and sustained good condition compared with other provinces. High ratio was shown dairy farm in jeju for pre-milking, pre-cooling system equipment and self laboring. Otherwise, the ratio of dairy farm doing test of mastitis is low. The ratio of first grade distribution in Jeju is 80.64%, which means that was improved before introducing raw milk grading system. The number of somatic cells found in summer more than that of other seasons in raw milk. However, these data is a little higher than the nation wide data medium. Also, general components, annual lipid ratio is 3.90% that improved compared with before introducing raw milk grading system. These data showed low in summer and similar to nation wide.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Unhealthy dietary behaviors constitute one of risk the factors for chronic and cardiovascular diseases, which are prevalent in middle-aged and older populations. Milk and dairy products are high-quality foods and important sources of calcium. Calcium protects against osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, this study investigated the association of milk and dairy product consumption with cardio-cerebrovascular disease incidence in middle-aged and older Korean adults. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Data were derived from the Ansan-Anseong cohort study, and a total of 8,009 individuals aged 40-69 years were selected and followed up biennially. Cox proportional hazard models were used to examine the association of milk and dairy product consumption with cardio-cerebrovascular disease incidence. RESULTS: During a mean follow-up period of 96.5 person-months, 552 new cases of cardio-cerebrovascular disease were documented. Milk consumers (< 1 serving/day) exhibited a 23% lower risk of cardio-cerebrovascular disease incidence than non-milk consumers (hazard ratio [HR], 0.77; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61-0.97; P for trend = 0.842). High yogurt consumption was associated with a 29% lower incidence risk (≥ 0.5 servings/day vs. none: HR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.53-0.96; P for trend = 0.049), whereas high ice cream consumption was associated with a 70% higher risk of cardio-cerebrovascular disease incidence (≥ 0.5 servings/day vs. none: HR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.01-2.88; P for trend = 0.070). CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that less than one serving of milk and high yogurt consumption are associated with a lower cardio-cerebrovascular disease risk in the middle-aged and older populations.

Inadequacy of riboflavin intake among Koreans had been pointed out repeatedly in most dietary and nutritional surveys in Korea. The consumption rate of dairy products has been increasing markedly in recent years. Milk and milk products are known to be a good source of the vitamin which can easily be destroyed by the sunlight. Total riboflavin content of the pasteurized and homogenized milk, both plain and flavored, and the milk products were measured by the Lumiflavin method. It ranged from $62.4{\mu}g$ riboflavin per 100g of homogenized milk to $195.9{\mu}g$ for vanilla flavored ice cream. In general milk products in the form of cream contained about three times as much riboflavin as plain milk. The rates of destruction of riboflavin in chocolate milk and white milk in clear glass bottle and in polyethylene pack were different when measured in 30 min intervals after exposure to bright sunlight for two hours. In the case of the plain milk, the riboflavin content decreased rapidly and remained only about a quarter of the initial value within an hour of the exposure period. The destruction rate slowed down after the first hour of the exposure and resulted about 90% destruction of riboflavin in two hours. The chocolate milk however exhibited a protective effects of the riboflavin from the sunlight. It retained 65% of the initial riboflavin after an hour of the exposure to sun and 55% ofter two hours. Two most widely used milk containers, clear glass bottle and polyethylene pack were about equally affected by the sunlight.

The performance and the operational problems of UASB(Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket) reactor for treatment of dairy wastewaters were investigated. Synthetic milk wastewater was successfully treated up to the loading rate of 3.9kg $COD/m^3.day$, with a specific gas production rate of 1. 23 I/I. day and a COD removal efficiency of over 90%. However, the sludge rising was observed at the loading rate of 2.1kg $COD/m^3.day$, due probably to the formation of scum layer at the surface of settling compartment. The BMP(biochemical methane potential) of raw milk wastewater and ice cream wastewater, measured by using SBT(serum bottle test), were 0.135 and 0.66ml $CH_4/mg\;COD_{added}$, respectively. The sludge activity increased more than 8 times from 0.159g $COD-CH_4/g$ VSS. d during 90 days of operation.

In this study, the contents of ${\beta}$-carotene and cholesterol were evaluated in various types of agricultural and processed foods (vegetables, legume products, dairy products, and eggs). Certified reference material (CRM) with an assigned value was used for the validation of the ${\beta}$-carotene and cholesterol analytical methods. High recoveries (accuracy) of ${\beta}$-carotene (96%) and cholesterol (97%) were obtained from the quantitative analysis of the CRM, with a relative standard deviation (%) of 1.86 and 3.35% for the ${\beta}$-carotene and cholesterol, respectively. Vegetables contained relatively high concentrations of ${\beta}$-carotene (raw Toona sinensis, $1650.97{\mu}g/100g$, a raw small onion, $879.09{\mu}g/100g$, and a raw lettuce stem, $591.89{\mu}g/100g$). The ${\beta}$-carotene values in dried chickpeas ($22.94{\mu}g/100g$) and dried brown lentils ($21.98{\mu}g/100g$) were similar. The highest ${\beta}$-carotene value among the analyzed dairy products was found in banana milk ($234.21{\mu}g/100g$) while other flavored products (strawberry milk and chocolate milk) did not contain any ${\beta}$-carotene. Furthermore, ${\beta}$-carotene was not detected in goat milk and high calcium milk in this study. With regard to cholesterol among the analyzed samples, the highest cholesterol value was found in egg yolk (629.30 mg/100 g), and cooking methods (boiling and frying) had little effect on the cholesterol levels of eggs. In addition, the cholesterol content in vanilla ice cream was 28.77 mg/100 g which was the highest value among the analyzed dairy products.
